Sioux Falls – Edgewood Prairie Crossing delivers assisted living care focused on helping residents maintain as much independence as possible while still having access to professional oversight. The community is licensed for assisted living only and does not operate a separate, secured dementia neighborhood; individuals with advanced memory loss may require a different setting. Nurses coordinate routine health monitoring, medication administration and physician communication, ensuring that changes in condition are addressed promptly. Residents can receive scheduled wellness checks, and outside therapy providers may be arranged when ordered by a physician.

Additional health-related supports are available around the clock, with an awake staff on duty during the night shift to respond to urgent needs. Team members are trained to provide some physical assistance with bathing, eating and dressing, while toileting is expected to be self-managed. Care plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted when a resident’s abilities or medical requirements change. Electronic door alarms and regular night rounds add another layer of safety without restricting freedom of movement within the assisted living area.

Housing options generally include studio and one-bedroom apartments that incorporate step-in showers, individual climate controls and basic kitchenettes. Select floor plans may add features such as in-unit laundry, patios or extra storage, but these upgrades are not present in every apartment. Each unit is equipped with an emergency call device that links directly to on-site staff, and housekeeping and maintenance are provided on a routine schedule.

Residents take their meals in a communal dining room where three daily menus are served with table service. Seasonal entrées, lighter fare and snacks are prepared on-site, and therapeutic diets can be accommodated when prescribed by a healthcare professional. Some apartments may include a small refrigerator and microwave, although full cooking facilities are not standard; private cooking is therefore limited and residents rely chiefly on the meal program.

Edgewood Prairie Crossing offers a small wellness center for exercise and therapy sessions, campus-wide internet access, a resident library and organized special-interest clubs that meet several times a month.
